Ramczyk- same as Lattimore Williams-keep hearing his name the last week or so practice squad Kamara- I think he makes roster. may hit PS but I feel like if he does he will get activated Anzaline-he will play in rotataion Hendrickson- haven't heard much Muhammad -he makes practice squad or be with someone else. I don't see any of them not getting a chance in the NFL I'm feeling pretty good about them. I think all of them could wind up on PS or will be playing somewhere. 3 years we will know but I have a good feeling. Haven't heard much negative on any of them. First 4 will be on final roster |

I'm not sure you are clear on how the practice squad actually works. First and foremost the player has to be cut and clear waivers before they can be placed on the practice squad. Second, once a player is on a practice squad, any of the 32 teams in the league can sign the player from the practice squad to their 53 man roster. And finally there are eligibility rules (which I am quoting because of the notion posted elsewhere that Daniel or Nassib should be placed on the PS): From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practice_squad
So it's laughable to think that Kamara or Williams can be on the Saints PS where there will be enough tape to show that they are capable of being starters in this league. It's even likely that Muhammad and Hendrickson will have enough tape and positive evaluations at the end of the preseason not to be cut. BTW the Saints somewhat dubious method for redshirting talented draft picks is to put them on IR. It is in fact unclear to me when they've done this exactly how injured the player actually was. But it certainly is a method where you retain the rights of the player without having to carry them on the 53 man roster. But in short, every pro scouting department in the league is reviewing tape of every other organization. Come September 2nd there will be nearly 1200 players, many of whom are draftees, UDFA, and players still eligible for a PS that will be picked up and placed into one of the 320 available PS slots somewhere. But I'd be shocked if any high level draft picks make it there. SFIAH |

I don't think they Gamble with Kamara either. Or Williams . Muhammad and Hendrickson maybe. My point is when is the last time we had this many draft picks made the final roster that didn't come back and land on the PS? Not counting last year because there weren't many picks. The year before Tull hit the PS and wound up on IR if I remember right. I don't remember any of those guys showing as much promise as the guys we have this year. |

Re: Saints Rookie Marcus Williams Is Flashing Ball-Hawking Skills At Safety
I think we are seeing the impact of Jeff Ireland. The tide has turned. We are finally turning the corner on a full rebuild. Around two thirds of our coaching staff has been replaced over the last two years. Our scouting staff was overhauled last off-season. We only have one starting defensive player left from two years ago and only two I can think of off the top of my head still on the roster from three years ago. Our offense has only three or four players remaining from our active roster three years ago. Thinking about all of that it is pretty impressive that the Saints have remained competitive and have won at least seven games each year. Most teams that go through a rebuild that complete are hard pressed to win three or four games.
Just another positive step toward success. |

As of right now. and can't tell until they actually play and stay relatively healthy, looks like we have hit on at least 4 of our draft picks, maybe 5. That would be amazing. Muhammhed is interesting. He will either be on the team or PS. He has flashed. Hendrickson has been hurt I think. Anz will make the squad. |

Re: Saints Rookie Marcus Williams Is Flashing Ball-Hawking Skills At Safety
I agree. And he has really shown some things. Plus he is a big dude. This draft really has some potential for some serious stars for us
